ben rhodes, thank you for coming on hardtalk. thanks a lot, i enjoyed it. hello there.res over the last five days somewhere in the uk have pushed over the 30 degrees celsius mark, and yesterday it was the turn of kew in west london to push above the 30—degree mark. 31 degrees celsius the top temperature yesterday. many areas did see some decent spells of sunshine. this was the scene in norfolk during monday, but further north—eastwards, in whitby, in that area, we had some thicker cloud and gary spotted a few spots of rain falling from the cloud. this, a cold front pushing through, and later in the day, the same weather watcher, gary, spotted some brighter weather following the cold front through. now, the satellite picture shows extensive cloud over northern and eastern parts of the country. that cold front continues to work its way southwards and significantly, it's going to be bringing fresher air. so the humidity will be dropping and as that happens, the temperatures will drop further as well. so it's going to be fresher, more comfortable night's sleep ahead. temper

ben rhodes, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. do ycvu'explainyczur'ccnnnecticrn'e well, it's one of the reasons why i wrote the book, to try to explore that, but i think fundamentally, he was running for president in 2008 as an outsider and he hadn't built up the network of people around him that most people running for president do. hillary clinton had kind of sucked up the democratic machine. i was coming in as a relative outsider, newcomer at 29 years old. we shared a frustration. i got into politics for the some of the same reasons he was running for president. after september 11, the attackes, our government had gotten it wrong in the iraq war and with a number of other decisions so we entered into this process with the same shared sense of trying to make change. the other reason that's important is when you're a speechwriter, you have to get inside someone‘s head because you have to learn how to write in their voice, how they think and talk, so it was myjob, frankly, to be able to anticipate what he wanted to say and what h

ben rhodes, thank you for coming on hardtalk. thanks a lot, i enjoyed it. hello again.le heat really. somewhere in the uk over the last six days we've seen temperatures into the low 30s, with the exception of yesterday's maximum temperature, which was at chivenor, in devon. we only got up to 26 degrees celsius. for most of us, yes, there was much less humidity around, it did feel a good deal fresher than recent days. and it was a beautiful end to the day. this was the scene of the setting sun in lincolnshire. now, looking at the weather picture for the early risers today, we do have a weather front across western scotland that will threaten to bring some rain into northern ireland as well. otherwise, it's a dry start to the day, and a fresher feel to the weather, as well. now, this rain early wednesday morning is actually going to get a little bit heavier, particularly across south—west scotland. it might well just about scrape into antrim and down in northern ireland as well. but, although it turns heavier for a time during wednesday morning, it will then begin to ease

ben rhodes, thank you for coming on hardtalk. thanks a lot, i enjoyed it.thern ireland. there will be a dramatic dip in the temperature here during the day ahead. we had and will have a dramatic drop in temperature for parts of scotland. you can see we had a few shower clouds yesterday. we had a few light showers across the southern half of the country. a smattering of rain for some of the gardens. we will see perhaps a little bit more during the day ahead. the change in scotland and northern ireland was brought about by this band of cloud. the odd spot of drizzle. the noticeable change is a dip in temperature. for many of us, temperatures are higher than wednesday morning. a bit more comfortable for sleeping, i'm sure. this weather system is not bringing much weather. just a line of cloud. most of the rain is further north. but it is bringing the fresher atlantic air in. you can see the delineation between the hot air and that is the atlantic influence. that is why temperatures in scotland and northern ireland could be 10 degrees lower than those yesterday

host: we have collars waiting for ben rhodes. greg, go ahead. caller: good morning. at the obamaback administration, it is clear that one of the key foreign-policy is a struggle related to israel and in particular, barack obama's relationship with benjamin netanyahu. and i think it is reflected in the news in the last may that linked to a spy and security organization, which was also involved in helping harvey weinstein dig up dirt on his , involved inrs operations against obama officials that were involved in drafting the iran deal. rhodes is, for ben this is obviously a major issue of difference where the obama administration had significant differences with the benjamin netanyahu government. the trump administration has taken a much more positive approach. a much better relationship in terms of agreeing about iran and other issues relating to israel and a media policy. in the division of netanyahu and those closest to him. how much of this whole battle going on within foreign-policy establishment with regards to how much is related to israel and a different vision
